Subject: [PATCH] splice: fix problem with sys_tee and SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK

From: Johann Felix Soden <johfel@...rs.sourceforge.net>

With SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK sys_tee should return number of duplicated bytes,
not only -EAGAIN on success.

This patch also solves the problem, which is described on
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/642502.
